Today In History “The major job was getting people to understand that they had something within their power that they could use, and it could only be used if they understood what was happening and how group action could counter violence…” – Ella Jo Baker Ella Jo Baker was born on December 13, 1903, in Norfolk, Virginia. Growing up in North Carolina, she developed a sense for social justice early on, due in part to her grandmother’s stories about life under slavery.

History Lessons for my daughter - part 4

Me:

Write a scene where a African American grandfather tells his granddaughter about Ella Baker

ChatGPT:

Grandfather sat down in his favorite armchair, and his granddaughter climbed onto his lap. He took a deep breath and began his story.

"Let me tell you about Ella Baker," he said. "She was a fierce and brilliant woman who dedicated her life to the fight for civil rights."

He leaned back and closed his eyes, remembering.

"She was born in 1903 in Virginia, and grew up hearing the stories of her grandmother, who was enslaved. She became involved in the civil rights movement in the 1930s, and worked with the NAACP and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference."

"Did she march with Martin Luther King Jr.?" his granddaughter asked.

"Well, she didn't march with him, but she was a key advisor and strategist. She believed that the most important work was done behind the scenes, and that the movement needed strong grassroots leadership."

He smiled at his granddaughter. "She was a force to be reckoned with, and she helped to shape the movement into what it became. She was a mentor to so many, including Stokely Carmichael and Rosa Parks."

"What did she do after the civil rights movement?" his granddaughter asked.

"Even after the movement ended, she continued to fight for justice. She worked with the Young Negroes Cooperative League and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and she never stopped advocating for the voices of the marginalized and the oppressed."

Grandfather's voice grew quiet. "She passed away in 1986, but her legacy lives on. She was an inspiration to so many, including me. I hope that you will always remember her story, and the impact that she had on our world."

"NOBODY'S FREE UNTIL EVERYBODY'S FREE" —Fannie Lou Hamer

by Street Art Revolution

Born in 1917 to sharecroppers in Mississippi, and picking cotton from the age of six, Fannie Lou Townsend Hamer became one of the most important and powerful voices in the civil rights movement. in early 2021 the Black-owned @StreetArtRevolution firm and public art collective used Hamer's image and oft-quoted words to frame a new mural on one of the most highly visible walls in West Palm Beach, FL, on Clematis St facing Quadrille Blvd (Hwy 1). The new series of civil rights icons includes, Hamer, Martin Luther King Jr, Malcolm X, Harriet Tubman, John Lewis, Kathleen Cleaver, Augusta Savage, and Ella Baker. The four pairs of portraits were painted (left to right) by Eduardo Mendieta; Tracy Guiteau; Nate Delinois, aka Nate Dee (painting the detail of the late great John Lewis); and Dahlia Perryman, aka The Black Dahlia.

March 13 #blackhistorycontinues Did You Know: Ella Baker, in full Ella Josephine Baker, (born December 13, 1903, Norfolk, Virginia, U.S.—died December 13, 1986, New York, New York), American community organizer and political activist who brought her skills and principles to bear in the major civil rights organizations of the mid-20th century. Baker married T.J. Roberts in the late 1930s and then joined the staff of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), first as a field secretary and later as national director of the NAACP’s various branches. Unhappy with the bureaucratic nature of the NAACP and newly responsible for the care of her young niece, she resigned from her director position in 1946 but worked with the New York branch to integrate local schools and improve the quality of education for black children. #ellabaker #activist #americancommunityorganizer #civilrights #naacp #intergratelocalschools #nationaldirector #fieldsecretary #🖤 #blackhistory #keeplearningaboutyourpeople (at Gainesville, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMXSHOEB4SSiOr8XNFcRTqQKC-lSfgnvU3okgc0/?igshid=13qqha0zk82x3

Mother of the Civil Rights Movement! Meet Ella Josephine Baker (December 13, 1903 – December 13, 1986). She was an African-American civil rights and human rights activist. She was a largely behind-the-scenes organizer whose career spanned more than five decades. In New York City and the South, she worked alongside some of the most noted civil rights leaders of the 20th century, including W. E. B. Du Bois, Thurgood Marshall, A. Philip Randolph, and Martin Luther King Jr. She also mentored many emerging activists, such as Diane Nash, Stokely Carmichael, Rosa Parks, and Bob Moses, whom she first mentored as leaders in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). Baker criticized professionalized, charismatic leadership; she promoted grassroots organizing, radical democracy, and the ability of the oppressed to understand their worlds and advocate for themselves. She realized this vision most fully in the 1960s as the primary advisor and strategist of the SNCC. Baker has been called "one of the most important American leaders of the twentieth century and perhaps the most influential woman in the civil rights movement." She is known for her critiques not only of racism within American culture, but also of sexism within the civil rights movement. #BlackHistoryMonth #EllaBaker #CivilRightsMovement https://www.instagram.com/p/CLSfo1JJBNb/?igshid=11epiv1yv6g2h
